June 14, 2021

A brand new F9 clip from Universal Pictures’ long-awaited latest installment to the Fast & Furious franchise has been revealed (via Fandango), providing us a preview at one of the many one-on-one fights that fans should expect to see in the forthcoming film. The video features Vin Diesel’s Dom as he goes up against his brother John Cena’s Jakob in hand-to-hand combat inside a stranger’s apartment.

Even though the action film hasn’t made its U.S. debut, it has already set worldwide box office records by earning the biggest international opening for a Hollywood film since the pandemic hit, with a gross of over $160 million. F9 currently has a worldwide gross of over $260 million. The film is scheduled to arrive in U.S. theaters on Friday, June 25.

Check out the new F9 clip below:

In F9: The Fast Saga, the action hurtles around the globe—from London to Tokyo, from Central America to Edinburgh, and from a secret bunker in Azerbaijan to the teeming streets of Tbilisi. Along the way, old friends will be resurrected, old foes will return, history will be rewritten, and the true meaning of family will be tested like never before. Vin Diesel’s Dom Toretto is leading a quiet life off the grid with Letty and his son, little Brian, but they know that danger always lurks just over their peaceful horizon. This time, that threat will force Dom to confront the sins of his past if he’s going to save those he loves most. His crew joins together to stop a world-shattering plot led by the most skilled assassin and high-performance driver they’ve ever encountered: a man who also happens to be Dom’s forsaken brother, Jakob.

The latest installment features returning cast members Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Sung Kang, with Kurt Russell, Oscar winner Helen Mirren and Oscar winner Charlize Theron.

F9 also welcomes franchise newcomers John Cena and Grammy-winning superstar Cardi B as a new franchise character Leysa, a woman with a connection to Dom’s past, and a cameo by Reggaeton sensation Ozuna.

Based on the characters created by Gary Scott Thompson, F9 sees the return of Justin Lin as director, who helmed the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth chapters of the series which transformed into a global phenomenon. It is written by Daniel Casey and Justin Lin from a story by Lin, Casey, and Alfredo Botello. Producers are Neal H. Moritz, Vin Diesel, Jeff Kirschenbaum, Joe Roth, Justin Lin, Clayton Townsend, and Samantha Vincent.
